Answer» It is a LPT scanner and was used with older OS, like Windows 98. It has a 25 pin connector and does not work with a USB adapter. (As far as I know of.)
The UMAX site claims to have the driver, but they don't. What I have found, so far, is rather sketchy and does not help.
In SHORT, my regular scanner quit and this was in my junk room.
Whenever I do a SEARCH, all it get are those *censored* sites that promise but FIRST want MONEY.
So, has anybody jeer ever used any of the Astra scanners? Again, it is UMAX Astra 1220P scanner for a parallel printer port. Thanks. https://www.hamrick.com/Thank you. This specific issue was not covered on the site. It seems that the model I have is bad news. The protocol is very odd and hard to install in Windows XP. So I am going to go look in my junk room for something else. Click on Astra 1220P http://www.umax.com/support/knowledge/search.jsp?docs=SC00198
Link to download P.exe doesn't work. Need to find location of their ftp site. At the bottom of the page is a phone number & email address.
